Configuring the Service Address

Use CygNet Host Manager Service Address settings to specify the IP address to which the ARS binds. If your server has multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs), all will be listed and you can select the appropriate NIC.

All CygNet Services must be shut down before you can change service address details.
